Buzzy Jackson, TO DIE BEAUTIFUL & A Story from Province of the Heart
Update: 2023-08-07
Description
Buzzy Jackson tells us the story of the Dutch anti-Nazi saboteur, Hannie Schaft and the lessons it holds for us as we confront fascism today. Her novel based on true events is To Die Beautiful. Then Francesca reads a short excerpt from her own father’s story of resistance in the same war.
And as I was writing the book, it was right around the time when the Trump administration began locking families in cages on the Mexican border and separating parents from their children.
And I was so horrified by this, not only because of the obvious human rights issues, but also because it was so similar to what I was researching in this book about the rise of fascism in Europe and specifically the Nazis. — Buzzy Jackson
